Lil' Pirates at Play

Our school district has a program call OPAT -Oklahoma parents as teachers. Once a month they have play groups were you go and learn new activities to do with your child that are fun and educational. At the end of the year they always have a big theme party at the park. This year it was Lil' Pirates at play and we had a ton of fun.

Emma had gotten her eye patch earlier this week and couldn't wait to wear it to her pirate party. She was so excited to get her hat-it didn't last long on cause it was sooo windy-and her treasure map. Whenever I asked her where we should go next she got out her treasure map to find the way. It was way cute. They had lots of fun activities; we read stories about the ocean, played in the water with fish and boats, looked for gold coins in the sand box, rowed a boat, wrestled an alligator, and made huge bubbles. They also had a station where you could get your picture taken as a pirate.

Aiden's favorite part was the water. He stood there all by himself for quite awhile playing in that water. He was mad when it was time to go. But his poor little hands where ice cold.

The highlight was the bubble blowing. I am not sure how that relates to pirates. But the girls had a blast making huge bubbles. All they had to do was lift up the stick and the wind would do the rest.
